I am feeling proud and humbled by the response and generosity you have shown towards this incredible charity. Your donations will make a huge difference to the children, and their families, who will benefit from your kindness. However, with just over 5 weeks to go, I have increased the target to £20k. Its a very difficult objective but I'll give it a go.....

Thank you all again. Michael

Michael Byrne, Byrne Group CEO, has decided to take on the challenge of swimming the Thames Marathon again, but with it has set himself two challenges. Firstly, he is attempting to raise £10,000 for the inspiring Caudwell Children Charity, and secondly, to swim the 14km Thames Marathon in under 4 hours.

The Caudwell Children Charity aims to change the futures of all disabled children by providing access to services, equipment, therapies and treatments they need. Their vision is a world where all disabled children and their families have choice, opportunity, dignity and understanding. They act as a safety net for families who are unable to get the help they need.

If you would like to help Michael in the first part of his quest, you can contribute on his JustGiving page.
